RE: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Unfortunately, I pretty much disagree with every point of praise in the article. However, I do agree that Kingsley Judd is absolutely wonderful and his performance alone is almost worth the price of admission. Other noteworthy performances were Talei Howell-Price and Grant Watson. I feel you have to be a fan to truly enjoy the adaptation. Sadly, I am not.

I must say the review has further inspired me to see the show - if only to see Kingsley playing ANYTHING other than a rapist, pervert or flasher!

Well done on the great review,

Now be fair! He makes a superb drug-fiend hippy! And a somewhat kick-arse emaciated mediaeval minstral.

I know this from my own rancid experience.

Cheers, m'colleague!
